Appearance
Bright, very slightly brassy gold with golden highlights.
Nose
Forthcoming with lots of very slightly buttery bitter almondy flor with hints of esparto and dried herbs and a slightly saline fresh sea air note. There are gentle hints of cabezuela which give complexity yet the wine is very slightly reserved and a little less assertive than the spring and autumn sacas which is only to be expected as the flor is more intense then.

Palate
Considerable intensity of yeasty flavour with that rich buttery autolytic character carried through by perfectly restrained acidity which gives the wine balance and a gentle tang without excessive bite. There are notes of humidity, salinity and a dry chalky texture but everything is delightfully harmonious and the wine has terrific length.
